The legal rationale for this is interesting -- and may very well be sound. It looks like the court has stated that a person cannot sue for damages in state court that result from side effects of drugs that have been given a "clean bill of health" by a Federal regulatory authority.

I'd be interested to see how Freepers with a legal background might weigh in on this.

Not a lawyer but I did stay in a Holiday Inn once.....

If you cut through all the legal crud, you find that she sued the wrong entity...she should have sued the government.......LOL

This suit is a lot like the one where a guy picked up his lawnmower and used it for a hedge clipper.....He cut his fingers off...

Sued the mower maker for not warning him about using it specifically as a hedge clipper...won the suit...

Now you have that idiot proof handle that you have to hold down to keep the mower running....they then discovered that this was not enough and also put a brake on it so that the blades stopped faster....

At the time I said that this country is gonna go off the cliff...and that was some 20 years ago.....I think we are over that ledge and falling, which is why we don’t yet feel the pain of the hard landing..Just a matter of time now....

thalidomide got a clean bill of health.

polio w/ sv-40 was’told we were safe.

drugs that govt clears all the time are pulled off the market. meloxicam was one.

this can’t make drug makers immune. they falsify studies in their favor andsuppress bad results, they could do this with impunity and get away with it b/c govt fda folks and drug companies have revolving door arrangements all the time, fox guarding the henhouse setup.
